Did you go to the information day yesterday?
I didn't
I'm doing Global Studies...what stream are you doing?moffie_bottom said:Indeed I did. But I didn't really learn anything new. Instead, I walked around afterwards for a few hours and ended up getting a magnificent sunburn.
Hooray for university
What stream are you specialising in?

I'm doing Spanish as my arts elective (along with French) because I'm still undecided about which language I wanted to do. Have you sorted all your uni stuff like ID yet?
I'm doing the same thing with Frenchmoffie_bottom said:I'm doing European Studies, and my language is going to be Italian...mostly because I did a little bit in school, ages ago, and don't really feel brave enough to tackle a language I have no familiarity with (e.g. French).
My actual elective for this year is Latin I'm excited cause I've always wanted to do it, but never had the chance before now. So...YAY for language!
I haven't got my ID yet, I really ought to get off my arse and do so.
B. International Studies is a very competitive degree. Only about 70-80 students are elegible to be in it because UNSW have to fund grants for students to go overseas. UNSW can't afford too many students.Maz89 said:How possible is it to transfer from arts at UNSW to international studies at UNSW? Is it easy or really difficult?
I'm worried because if i don't get into international studies, I don't know whether I should do arts and try to transfer or just do a different course. Because I really have my heart set on doing International Studies at UNSW.
I'm hard working and I think I can do well at uni, but I've heard all this stuff about how transferring is getting harder.
B.InSt's UAI can fluctuate big time. Remember only 70-80 students do this degree and it is highly sought after. If more students want to do it, then it rises dramatically.nessyfreak said:Hey maz
its ness! lol
i reckon you'll get 91 easy. Go on Sam, he'll tell you. He always tells me im going to get over 91 and your marks are higher than mine. Just think of the ext english scaling!
I reckon you shouldn't do arts as your next preference because thats not what you want to do. If you get stuck in arts you wont be happy.
The first year, you will do 2 core courses, 1 European subject and 1 elective of your choice, per semester. 4 altogether. Obviously those 2 core topics will consist of European History. I heard is so bloody hard and nobody got distinction or high distinction. Like 2/5 failed European history. The lecturer has really high standards.yasamin said:i am absalutely dying to get in... dreaming about doing european studies and learning german! i really have no clue how uni works but wt kinda subjects or units or watever r on offer?
